Christina J. Garner - She Kills Monsters

Director: Shelly Gaza

Technical Director: Esther Winney

She Kills Monsters was an incredible show I was able to design in undergrad at UNCo. With the play revolving around a game of Dungeons and Dragons, it really allowed to immerse into the board game world and let my creativity run rampant.

Most of the the inspiration came from the D&D gameplay. The floors pulling from an actual game board and making the entire blackbox space feel cave-like, and having the tables movable to allow different orientations and having the table echo the dice used in D&D. I was also apart of the build of this show which was a wonderful experience. Using spray insulation foam for the textures was possibly the most fun I've ever had building for a show.
